Not having a great memory for names, there are friendly people with whom I have avoided dancing,
because they know my name, and I cannot recall theirs, which I find acutely awkward, and even distressing, as it ruins a dance for me if I'm sure they realise, and will be disappointed that I can't remember their name after too many dances to be able to ask again without being crass. Such situations are not conducive to making friends.
If I had a fiver for every time I've said to someone "sorry I'm terrible with names I've forgotten yours again", I would, er, have a lot more money than I have.
Most of the time I find they've forgotten mine again, too. Sometimes they remember mine immediately (how nice to be that memorable; it doesn't happen often )
Absolutely.Life is short
Much too short.
And certainly too damn short to avoid dancing with people just because you can't remember their names...
